This problem results from various reasons.The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded. We are running out of our natural resources and at the same time polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, life on earth cannot survive. Concerned people have made some progress in environmental protection. Governments of many countries have established laws to protect the air, forests and sea resources and to stop environmental pollution. Still more measures should be taken to solve environmental problems. People should be further educated to recognize the importance of the problems, to use modern methods of birth control, to conserve our natural resources and recycle our products.In my opinion, I think we should take measures to control the increase of population, and every oneof us should try his best to protect our environment. If all of us can do our part, I am sure that we can have a better and cleaner place in the future.。

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context “Can you take me golfing sometime?” my 13-year-old son asked. I had a bathroom to remodel (改建). I wanted to say no. “Sure,” I said. “What did you have in mind?” “Well, maybe you could 36 Jack and me after school on Friday and t ake us out to Oakway.” “Sounds good.”Friday came. In front of the school, Ryan and Jack piled into the car. Ryan looked 37 . “What’s with the golf hat, Dad?” he asked. It was, I thought, a silly question, like asking a 38 : “What’s with the swim fins (脚蹼)?” “Well, I thought we were going to play some golf.”Thirteen years of parenting flashed before my eyes. But there was a 39 pause. “Uh, you’re going, too?” he asked. Suddenly, I realized that I hadn’t been invited. All these memories sped by in about two seconds, 40 me about three seconds to reply. I had to say something. I wanted to say this: “How could you do this to me? We have always been a team.” But I said: “Me? __41 ? No. You know I’m too busy now.”We drove on in silence for a few moments. “So, how are you planning to42 this?”I asked. “Uh, could you lend me $7?” Oh, I got it. He didn’t want me, but he’d43 take my money. “No problem,” I said.I dropped them off, 44 them luck and headed for home. Life would never be the same. I walked in the door. “What are you doing home?” my wife asked. “I wasn’t invited,” I replied. Another strange pause came. Then my wife laughed. Out loud. At first I was hurt. Then I, too, laughed. I went back to the bathroom remodel and realized that this is what life is all about: __45 .A few hours later, I heard Ryan walk in the front door. “Dad,” he said. “My game stinks (糟透了). Can you take me golfing sometime? I need some help.” I wanted to46 him and shout: “I’m still needed!” 47 , I got one of those serious-dad looks on my face and said:“Sure,Ryan, anytime.”36.

MeanwhileSection C (8 marks)Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.Today, many people around the world need new hearts, lungs or other organs because of disease. They have to wait a long time for 48 new organ, and there are not enough organs for those who need them. Many people die 49 waiting for new organs. Scientists think they can use stem cells(干细胞) to make new organs or parts of the body. They are trying to learn 50 to make a stem cell become, for example, a heart cell. If scientists could make new organs using stem cells, then everyone 51 needed a new organ could get one the waiting time would be shorter. If someone has an accident and can 52 longer walk, scientists might be able to use stem cells to replace the damaged cells and allow that person to walk again.53 , some people think that the stem cell research should be stopped. They believe that embryos, which scientists use to get stem cells, are already human. If scientists create embryos and do not let 54 develop, they are killing humans. Also, some people thinkthat scientists should not be able to create or destroy life whenever they want to. There are many arguments for and 55 stem cell research and there is still much to learn about it.Part ⅢReading comprehension (20 marks)Directions: Read the following two passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.A“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits (特点) in the Americans. They show confidence in the way they talk, the way they smile, the way they dress and the way they walk. Living and competing with all these confident American students, I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and a foreign instructor. As a student, being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind. Don’t mind if it sounds simple or silly. Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all. What’s worse, the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive.Being confident for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I do not get it. Pretending to understand what you actually do not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace. But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their speech es (The course I’m teaching here is Public Speaking). Modesty is a trait highly valued in China, but it won’t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program.56. To compete with American students, it’s very impo rtant to __________.A. be quite confidentB. be polite and friendlyC. have more discussions with themD. understand what they think about57. A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who __________.A. gives a silly or simple answerB. tries to seize any chance to speak in classC. shows no interest in the courseD. is considered to have no opinion of his own58. The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if __________.A. he asks a student to repeat what he has saidB. the students bargain with himC. he pretends to know what he doesn’tD. he has to give a speech59. We learn from the second paragraph that __________.A. we should also remain modest in AmericaB. modesty doesn’t help you much in AmericaC. Americans also like modest peopleD. modesty can help you get through an American graduate program60. The passage is mainly developed by __________.A. providing other people’s examplesB. making comparisonsC. giving different figuresD. telling personal experiencesBLike most people in Oregon, Stephanie was used to driving in bad weather. Although rain still beat the window of her car, the worst of the day’s storm seemed to have passed as she drove her 11-year-old daughter, Maggie, home from a church at 8:30 p.m. Two other little children sat into their car seats in back.When crossing over Fawcett Creek (小河), Stephanie found the road just ahead had been washed away. The storm had turned the creek into a 100-feet-wide river. Water began to go into the car and th e four of them had to climb onto the car’s roof. The car was floating about and was being swept toward the Tillamook River only a few miles ahead. Suddenly it stopped when hitting a logjam (浮木阻塞).The water swept over them, rising higher and higher. Stephanie screamed into the rainy night, almost crying.“Mom, I have to go and get help,” her 11-year-old daughter Maggie cried.Stephanie realized if she went by herself, Maggie couldn’t hold on to the other two babies. But Maggie was still recovering from foot surgery. How could she manage? Finally she shouted, “I’m proud of you. Be careful!”As Maggie struggled to reach the shore, she was all wet. The sixth grader started runningto the nearest house. Inside, the neighbors immediately called 911 and were told that firefighters had got informed of the trouble at Fawcett Creek and the rescue team had made their way toward another trapped car. To her relief, the rescue team arrived 10 minutes later. Maggie joined the neighbors, and helped the firefighters to point out where her mother was. The firefighters saved Stephanie and her children by using a 35-foot-long ladder.When Stephanie reached land in safety, Maggie raced into her mother’s arms. “She hugged me for five minutes,” Maggie remembers. Maggie accepted an award for her heroism, but she’s happier to get back to her sports team and her f amily.61. What can we infer from the passage?A. Without the logjam, Stephanie’s car would have been swept into the Tillamook River.B. The rain became heavier when Stephanie drove home.C. Stephanie’s car was the only vehicle blocked in Fawcett Creek that night.D. Most of the time, the weather in Oregon is quite good.62. Stephanie’s screaming on the car’s roof suggested that she felt ______.A. surprisedB. helplessC. lonelyD. careless63. According to the passage, we can infer that Maggie ______.A. was strong enough to hold the two children in the waterB. tried to take a boat to the bank in order to get helpC. stopped her sports activities due to her foot injuryD. rescued her family using a ladder64. Which of the following is the correct order of the story?①Firefighters rescued Stephanie and her children from the river.②Firefighters were sent to another trapped car.③The neighbors Maggie found called 911.④The rescue team got informed of the trouble at Fawcett Creek.A. ④②③①B. ④③②①C. ③④②①D. ③④①②65. What is the passage mainly about?A. A heavy storm damaged a road and killed lots of drivers.B. A brave young girl helped save her family from flood.C. Firefighters rescued a family late at night from flood.D. Great neighbors saved people in a flood.Part ⅣWriting(25 marks)Section A （10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows mainly from careless and rude behavior of drivers who refuses to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the traffic accidents on the road may be regarded as a social problem.In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people--- just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a general truth that carelessness is no excuse when one's actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence（疏忽）.Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 per cent of all automobile accidents result from the psychological condition of the driver. For instance，emotional upsets can disturb drivers' reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be clear. The experts warn that it is very important for every driver to make a conscious (神志清醒的) effort to keep one's emotions under control.Yet drivers are not the only people who are to blame for much of the problem. Street walkers regularly break traffic rules. They are responsible in most vehicle walker accidents; and many cyclists even believe that they may not obey the basic rules of the road.Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to make people aware of safe driving, which requires constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things will be a threat to those with whom they share the road.Title: A social problem —66. __I. Present situation:The motor vehicle has caused more deaths and made more people 67. than before.II. 68.:▲ drivers—have poor psychological condition, for example 69.which leads to ● disturbing drivers’ reactions● 70.● blinding them to evident dangers▲71.—violate traffic regulations▲72.—have no respect for 73. of the road III. Solutions:▲raising safety standards▲74.▲75. increasing people’s of safe drivingSection C (15 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below.作为我校环保社社长，请为创建“绿色株洲，低碳株洲”活动写一封倡议书，号召我校师生为株洲环保做三件实事，并简介理由。

I remembered one of his 31 one night when I was ready to quit(退出) a political movement I was losing, and wrote about it in my diary. Tired, feeling the many months of struggle, I went up to my study to make some notes. I was looking for a pencil in the back of my desk drawer when I 32 up one of Dad’s old business cards that he was so proud of; Andrea Guomo, Italian American—fine Imported Products. Then I thought about how he 33 with difficult situation. A lot of pictures appeared into my idea, but one scene came sharply into view.We had just moved to Holliswood, New York. We had our own house for the first time; it had some land around it, even 34 . One, in particular, was a great blue spruce(云杉) that must have been 40 feet tall.Less than a week after we moved in, there was a terrible 35 . We came home from the store that night to find the spruce 36 almost totally from the ground and thrown onto the street. When my brother Frankie and I saw the spruce, our heart 37 . But not Dad’s.The rain was 38 . Then he announced, “Ok, we’re going to push him up!”“What are you talking about, Dad? The roots are out of the ground !”“Shut up; we’re going to push him up; he’s going to 39 .” We couldn’t say no to him. So we followed him into the house and we got what rope there was and we tied the rope around the top of the tree that lay on the street and he stood up by the house, with me 40 on the rope and Frankie in the street in the rain, helping to 41 up the great blue spruce. In no time at all, we had it standing up straight again! Dad 42 stakes(木桩) in the ground, tied rope from the trunk to the stakes, and said, “Don’t worry, he is going to grow again...”I looked at the card and wanted to cry.

Schmidt pleaded(恳请) earnestly with the pilot for quite a while. Since it was a slow day and there were not many customers, the pilot finally agreed. “Ok, I will take you and your wife for ten dollars on one condition: while in the air, you cannot make any noise. 47 I hear a peep(动静) out of you, that will cost you 20 dollars,” Schmidt agreed reluctantly(不情愿地,勉强地).The plane took 48 without a hitch.

Each passage is follo w ed by se v eral questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information gi v en in the passage.ASportsAll over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer.Sports change with the season. People play different games in winter and summer. Games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday activities. The Arabs use horses or camels in much of their everyday life; they use them in their sports, too.Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.Some sports or games go back to thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Both of them are just about a hundred years old. People are inventing new sports or games all the time.People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person’s character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace.51. From the passage we know that ______.A. people began to play sports about one hundred years agoB. about 100 years ago people ran or jumped when they playedC. basketball has a longer history than volleyballD. not all the games have a long history.52. According to this passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Sports help to train a person’s character.B. People from different countries may not be able to understand each other before a game.C. People swim only because there are a lot of rivers in their country.D. Sports and games can develop the friendship between people all over the world.53. The writer did NOT tell us in this passage that ______.A. basketball was invented in AmericaB. sports change with the seasonC. games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday activitiesD. football is played all over the world54. The writer writes about the Arab’s using camels in their sports to show that _____.A. it is a unique sportB. it has a long historyC. sports help to train one’s characterD. some sports are closely related to people’s work and daily activities55. The underlined word “grace” in the last paragraph probably means “________” in Chinese.A. 成功B. 风度C.公平D. 梦想BIf English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter(（中枢神经系统的）灰白质). This is the area of the brain which processes(加工,处理) information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals ” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain moreflexible,” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.56. The main subject talked about in this passage is ________.A. science on learning a second languageB. language learning and the increase in one’s brain power.C. man’s ability of learning a second languageD. language learning and the study of maths57. In the second paragraph, the writer mentions exercise in order to _____.A. say language is also a kind of physical labourB. prove that one needs more practice when he or she is learning a languageC. make people believe language learning helps grey matter work wellD. to show the importance of using the language when you learn it.58. What change can we get during the experience of learning a second language?A. The increase of the ability to learn.B. The development of muscles.C. The improvement of strange pronunciation.D. A worse understanding of different ideas.59. We may know from the scientific findings that _______.A. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a secondlanguageB. the experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on people’s brainC. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the timeD. the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is60. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that ______.A. learning a second language is the same as studying mathsB. Italian is the best choice for you as a second languageC. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjectsD. you’d better start to learn a second language between 2 and 34C“Clean your plate!” and “Be a member of the clean-plate club!” Just about every kid in the US heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often, it’s accompanied by an appeal: “Just think about those starving orphans in Africa.” Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in theUS take too many bites. Instead of “cleaning the plate’, perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies(胃口,食欲). A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate (将……联系起来) quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion(一分,份额) sizes began (or grew) in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline began to expand(扩大).Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently, some customers are calling for this too. The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believe restaurants serve portions that are too large; 23 percent had no opinion; 20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can’t afford fine dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of those earning at least $150,000 per year prefer smaller portions; but only 45 percent of those earning less than $25,000 want smaller.It’s not that working-class Americans don’t want to eat healthily. It’s just that, “after long hours at low-paying jobs, getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal. They live from paycheck, happy to save a little money for next year’s Christmas presents.”61. Parents in the United States tend to ask their children _______.A. not to save foodB. to wash the dishesC. not to eat too muchD. not to waste food62. Why do American restaurants serve large portions?A. Because Americans associate quantity with value.B. Because Americans have big bellies.C. Because Americans are good eaters.D. Because Americans are greedy.63. Which of the following is NOT true of working-class Americans?A. They work long hours.B. They live from paycheck to paycheck.C. They don’t want to be healthy eaters.D. They want to save money for their children.64 What happened in the 1970s?A. The US government recommended the amount of food a restaurant gave to a customer.B. Health experts persuaded restaurants to serve smaller portions.C. The United Stated produced more grain than needed.D. The American waistline started to expand.65. What does the survey indicate(表明,显示)?A. Many poor Americans want large portions.B. Twenty percent of the Americans want smaller portions.C. Fifty seven percent of the Americans earn $150,000 per year.D. Twenty three percent of the Americans earn less than $25,000 per year.Part ⅣWriting(20 marks)Section A (5 marks)Directions: Read the follo w ing passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each ans w er.A smart card is a card that is carried with either a microprocessor and a memory chip or only a memory chip that is not programmable. The microprocessor card can add, delete, and deal with the information on the card, while a memory-chip card can only do one thing.Smart cards, unlike magnetic stripe cards, can do many different things and hold a lot of information. In this way, they do not need to get information from a faraway place when they are used.Today, there are several kinds of smart cards, all of which are very popular in the market:IC (Integrated Circuit) microprocessor cards: Microprocessor cards (chip cards) offer a larger memory and better security than the traditional magnetic stripe cards do. Chip cards can also hold data. These cards are used for many things. Thus, chips have been the main platform for cards that hold a secure digital identity. Some examples of these cards are: cards that hold money; cards that provide safe access to a network; cards that allow setting stop boxes on television to remain safe from privacy(隐私).Optical memory cards: Optical memory cards look like cards with a piece of CD on the top. Optical memory cards can store up to 4MB of data. But once written, the data can not be changed or removed. Thus, this type of card is good for keeping records, such as medical files, driving records or travel histories. Today, these have no processors in them (although this is coming in the near future). While the cards are almost as cheap as chip cards, the cards readers are expensive.Title: 66Types 68 Disadvantages SimilaritiesIC chip cards ● A larger memory& better security;●Hold data Not mentioned ●70 ;●Large memory;●Low cost ofcards67 ●Store much data;●Good fordoctors, driversand travelers to ●Data that can notbe changed orremoved;●No processors;●Expensive 69keep records;●Cost not muchSection B (15 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions gi v en belo w in Chinese.假如你是李红，近日，你班正在开展一场主题为“幸福是什么？”的讨论。

If students have breakfast at home, they have to get up early to prepare food, which wastes time. For another, the food outside is more delicious than that cooked at home.However, some students don’t think so. Firstly, it is bad for health. As we know, some of the food offered outside maybe is what we call “Rubbish Food”, which lacks a good balance of nutrition and is not helpful for health. Besides, it costs too much money.In my opinion, we’d better have breakfast at home. Anyhow, health is the most important.。

No matter what you answer, you are partially right.A recent Gallup Poll show that both man and women believe that women possess the gift of talking and some even believe women are biologically built for conversation, but all of this is challenged in research published in the November issue of “Personality and Social Psychology Review”.In recent research by Campbell Leaper and Melanie Ayres, they collected all of the available evidence from decades of scientific study and systematically combined the findings into an overall picture of the differences between men and women regarding talkativeness.They found a small but reliable tendency for men to be more talkative than women in certain cases, such as when they were conversing with their wives or with strangers. Women talked more to their children and to their college classmates.The type of speech was also explored in the research. The researchers discovered that, with strangers, women were generally more talkative when it came to using speech to ensure her connection to the listener, while men’s speech focused more on an attempt to influence the listener. With close friends and family, however, there was very little difference between genders in the amount of speech.46. This passage mainly talks about research conducted by ___________.A. Gallup PollB. “Personality and social Psychology Review”C. Campbell Leaper and Melanie AyresD. The author47. According to the passage which statement is true?A. Women are born to be good at conversation.B. Women are more talkative than men.C. Women are more talkative than men when they converse with their close friends.D.

Talking with strangers, _____________.A. women are more talkative than with people they knowB. men are more talkative than with their wivesC. women prefer to listen more rather than speak moreD. men speak a lot to have their opinions acceptedBLocal businessmen are increasingly facing competition from on line retailers. Larry Pollock, owner of Camera Co/Op on South Congress, said he has been dealing with this kind of problem for years, even before the Internet. The struggle began with mail-order catalogues, which are similar to online retailers in that they have few employees to pay, no sales tax fees and no business venue to lease and manage.“Their overhead is lower, but they don’t offer a service like we do,” Pollock said.Pollock, however, said providing a valuable service to customers does not always guarantee continued sales.“We spend 30 minutes to an hour with somebody and they go home and buy it online,” he said.According to the state c omptroller’s office, online shopping is developing at a more rapid rate than traditional businesses.In spite of how fair or unfair online shopping may be to the local businessmen, consumers will continue to turn to the Internet for its variety and accessibility, said Mitch Wilson, an online shopper. “You have a larger selection and it’s easier to compare prices.”Wilson said he built his personal computer and paid a third of the price by shopping online.“Before the Internet, I would have had to go and buy an assembled computer from somebody like Dell,” he said. “Before I started shopping online I could never find all the pieces I wanted. No single store had everything needed, so shopping online saved me from having to buy from Dell.”Janny Brazeal, a psychology freshman, said online shopping is too impersonal.“I’d rather see it in person, touch it, know that I’m getting it,” she said.Brazeal also said she would not give out her credit card number or other personal information online no matter how safe the site claims it is.51. Larry Pollock has been facing the problem __________.A. before longB. after the InternetC. since there were mail-order cataloguesD. since he worked as a businessman52. According to the passage, which of the following is wrong?A. Traditional business can provide valuable services to customersB. People can get cheaper goods from traditional businessC. More and more people will turn to the Internet for their needsD. There are still many people who don’t like on-line shopping53. More people like online shopping because _________.A. the consumers can easily compare a variety of goods on lineB. it’s easy for consumers to get what they wantC. it’s cheaper to buy what they need from on-line retailersD. all above54. Mitch Wilson prefers to build his personal computer by shopping on line because _________.A. he can easily get what he needs at a lower priceB. he can not get the price at traditional businessmanC. he is not satisfied with the service of local businessmanD. the quality of Dell is not satisfying55. Why doesn’t Jenny Brazeal like to buy things on line?A. She is not sure about the quality of the goods on lineB. She doesn’t like to give her personal information to othersC. She can’t use the computerD. She doesn’t know what she is going to buyCKincaid looked at his watch: eight-seventeen. The truck started on the second try, and he backed out, shifted gears, and moved slowly down the alley under hazy sun. Through the streets of Bellingham he went, heading south on Washington 11, running along the coast of Puget Sound for a few miles, then following the highway as it swung east a little before meeting U.S Route 20.Turning into the sun, he began the long, winding drive through the Cascades. He liked this country and felt unpressed stopping now and then to make notes about interesting possibilities for future expeditions or to shoot what he called “memory snapshots.” The purpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more seriously. In later afternoon he turned north at Spokane, picking up U.S Route 2, which would take him halfway across the northern United States to Duluth, Minnesota.He wished for the thousandth time in his life that he had a dog, a golden retriever, maybe, for travels like this and to keep him company at home. But he was frequently away; overseas much of the time and it would not be fair to the animal. Still, he thought about it anyway. In a few years he would be getting too old for the hard fieldwork. “I must get a dog then.” He said to himself.Drives like this always put him into a sentimental mood. The dog was part of it. Robert Kincaid was alone as it’s possible to be – an only child, parents both dead, distant relatives who had lost track of him and he of them, no close friends.He thought about Marian. She had left him nine years ago after five years of marriage. He was fifty–two now, that would make her just under forty. Marian had dreams of becoming a musician, a folksinge r. She knew all of the Weavers’ songs and sang them pretty well in the coffeehouse of Seattle. When he was home in the old days, he drove her to the shows and sat in the audience while she sang.His long absences – two or three months sometimes – were hard on the marriage. He knew that. She was aware of what he did when they decided to get married, and both of them had a vague (not clear) sense that it could all be handled somehow. It couldn’t when he came from photographing a story in Iceland and, she was gone. The note read, “Robert, it didn’t work out, I left you the Harmony guitar. Stay in touch.”He didn’t stay in touch. Neither did she. He signed the divorce papers when they arrived a year later and caught a plane for Australia the next day. She had asked for nothing except herfreedom.56. Which route is the right one taken by Kincaid?A. Bellingham – Washington 11 – Puget Sound – U.S Route 20 – U.S Route 2 – DuluthB. U.S. Route 2 – Bellingham – Washington 11 – Puget Sound – U.S Route 20 – DuluthC. U.S. Route 2 – U.S Route 20 – Duluth – Bellingham – Washington 11D. Bellingham – Washington 11 –U.S. Route 2 –U.S Route 20 –Duluth57. Which statement is true according to the passage?A. Kincaid’s parents were dead and he only kept in touch with some dist ant relatives.B. Kincaid would have had a dog if he hadn’t been away from home too much.C. Kincaid used to have a golden retriever.D. Kincaid needed a dog in doing his hard fieldwork.58. Why did Kincaid stop to take photos while driving?A. To write “memory snapshots”.B. To remind himself of places he might want to visit again.C. To avoid forgetting the way back.D. To shoot beautiful scenery along the road.59. What can you know about Marian?A. She died after five years of marriage.B. She was older than Kincaid.C. She could sing very well and earned big money.D. She was not a professional pop singer.60. We can draw a conclusion from the passage that _____A. Marian knew what would happen before she married Kincaid.B. Kincaid thought his absence would be a problem when he married Marian.C. It turned out that Marian could not stand Kincaid’s absence and left him.D. After Marian left him, they still kept in touch with each other.第二节信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

I preferred to live… preferred → preferAs is known to all, food is a priority for the common people. Recently, however, reports about food problems have often been seen in the newspapers, showing that people have always been concerned about what they eat every day.There are several reasons for this severe problem. First and foremost, the public, especially customers from poor families, are not alert enough to the safety of food. In addition, some of the food producers are too fond of making profits, leading to the result that they use whatever will make the food look good or taste better without considering the bad consequences. Last but not least, the lack of adequate laws and regulations and punishment on those illegal producers makes things worse.Therefore, it is high time that we took all the measures necessary to forbid the food producers to make food that is not safe enough. Related laws should be strengthened and the government should have more control over these producers. And more importantly, moral ideas of producing and keeping food safe ought to be accepted by everyone. Only when people are no longer worried about whethertheir food is safe or not can they enjoy a better life.。

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.ASome time ago, I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth —so I decided that my approach must be wrong.I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that; it's nothing.”Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I'll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean？You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I'm sorry; I'll give you twenty-seven pounds for it. ” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. ” “You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you mend this chair for me?’” “I wouldn't have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t d o repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you; shall we say for a fiver?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.56. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer ________.A. was rather impoliteB. was warmly receivedC. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chairD. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair57. The underlined word “approach” in the second paragraph means _____________.A. plan for dealing with thingB. decision to sell thingsC. idea of repairing things by himselfD. way of doing things58. The expression “ the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper __________.A. changed his mindB. accepted the offerC. saw the writer’s purposeD. decided to help the writer59. How much did the writer pay?A. £5B. £6C. £20D. £2760. From the text, we can learn that the writer was____________.A. honestB. carefulC. smartD. funnyBThe nation's largest group of pediatricians(小儿科医生) on Monday urged its members to “firmly oppose boxing for any child or adolescent.”In a statement, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) said thousands of boys and girls take part in the sport in North America, despite risks of serious brain and facial injuries. The group’s position was approved by some experts.“There is very li ttle one can do in order to increase the chance of having a healthy brain when you get old,” said Dr. Hans Forstl, who has studied boxing injuries.“ One of the best things you can do is avoid boxing.” He said.According to the new statement, published in the journal Pediatrics, information from Canada shows a rise in boxing injuries over the past decade.Pat Russo, a retired police officer who runs a boxing gym in Brooklyn, New York, said injuries are rare in amateur boxing. After 26 years and training thousands of kids, he has seen just one split lip among his students.“ If the gym is run properly, injuries are at an absolute minimum,” Russo said. “Football is ten times more dangerous. While tennis or football might also help kids gain confidence, boxing holds a special attraction for children in poor neighborhoods, because it allows them to act tough while in trouble.”Dr. Robert Cantu, a surgeon (外科医生) at Emerson Hospital in Concord, Massachusetts, said AAP’s attitude makes sense for upper-class and middle-class kids.“ Clearly boxing is safer today than it was 20 or 30 years ago, but it is still a very risky activity,” he said.“For kids in poor areas, however, the situation is different,” said Cantu. “ The most dangerous thing for the majority of people in boxing is just where they live. They are farsafer in the ring (拳击场), even taking blows to the head, than they are out in the neighborhood.”61. The statement released by AAP was ___________.A approved by Pat RussoB focused on professional boxingC based on Dr. Hans Forstl’s researchD strongly against boxing for children62. What is Dr. Hans Forstl’s attitude towards boxing for children?A UnconcernedB SupportiveC OpposedD Neutral63. Pat Russo believes that boxing injuries are____________.A still on the rise todayB not a serious problem in his gymC not common in poor neighborhoodD more dangerous than football injuries64. In the text, Dr. Robert Cantu expressed his concern about __________.A brain injuries occurring in boxing matchesB the development of boxing among childrenC the attitude of upper-class kids toward boxingD children’s security in poor neighborhood65. What is the text mainly about?A The development of boxing gymsB Children’s risk of injury in boxingC The disadvantage of doing boxingD Measures to improve boxing safetyCCollege visits are important．Before you commit years of your life andmoney to a school, be sure you're choosing a place," that is a good match for your personality and interests．You can’t get the "feel' of a school from any guidebook, so be sure to visit the campus．Below are a few tips for gettingthe most out of your college visit．1.Explore on your ownOf course you should take the official campus tour, but be sure to allow time to hang around on your own．The trained tour guides will show you aschool's selling points．But the 1dest and prettiest buildings don't give you the entire picture of a college．Try to walk the extra mile and get the completepicture of the campus．2.Read the Bulletin BoardsWhen you visit the student center, academic buildings and residence hall, take a few minutes to read the bulletin boards．They provide an easy way to seewhat's happening on campus．The ads for lectures, clubs and plays can tellyou what's going on outside the classrooms．3.Eat in the Dining HallYou can get a good feel for student life by eating in the dining hall．Try tosit with students if you can．Do the students seem happy or stressed?

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.Food makes us feel good, but some people eat when they aren’t really hungry and eat to simply feel good. This kind of eating habit is called emotional eating, which does not affect adults but also young children. It isn’t a good thing.A child’s eating habits can develop right from childhood. As we know, a baby cries out if he doesn’t get milk at the usual time of the day. However, sometimes parents immediately stick a bottle in a child’s mouth without trying to find out if the child is really hungry. In fact, children may cry for other reasons. Even as children grow up and start going to school, parents sometimes give them a chocolate bar if they become really unhappy. As the children further grow up, they may become used to having a snack whenever they’re upset or low.Therefore, they’d like to eat an emotional snack when t hey have the feeling of unhappiness and boredom. Even when they don’t get high grades, aren’t popular at school or made fun of by others, they will want something to eat. After having the snack, they feel a lot better.Emotional eating in young children is a thing that needs to be taken seriously. To protect your children from emotional eating, you should satisfy your child’s emotional needs in the best possible way. This includes spending time with your child every day, taking an interest inhis school work, helping your child study, providing a health environment without tension at home, etc. Don’t make the child lose face by scolding him. Develop confidence in your child. Make your child eat enough once in a while. Reward him for his achievements.All this will help your little one develop a healthy eating habit. And always remember love and care is the key to help your child out of trouble and grow up happily.Title: 71 in Young Children72 Eating for feeling good instead of for 73 .Causes ●forming the habit when 74●feeling 75●feeling 76 and getting low grades ●being made fun of by others77 ●staying with your child for some time every day●being 78 in your child’s studies and help him study ●providing a healthy environment without tension at home ●avoiding 79 to make him ashamed●making your child 80 in himself●giving your child enough to eat once in a while●giving your child reward for what he has achievedConclusion Love and care helps children out of trouble.第三节回答问题（共4小题；满分10分）Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.I remember a day 17 years ago quite well．That day，our twin sons，Chad and Brad, loaded their car and left home to go to college．I realized that our dinner table would soon become a “table for two”. Sure，the boys would come home on the weekends, but even so, I knew our family life would never be exactly the same again．Before leaving, the boys walked around each room of the house to make sure they hadn't forgotten anything they needed. We all walked outside．Chad and Brad gave me big hugs and quickly got into their car．I waved as they drove away．When I couldn’t see their car any longer，I began to sob. My husband Roy tried to comfort me, but I could see grief in his eyes,as well．There are many parents who would experience this period．Bittersweet feeling will be present．While the parents feel pride and joy for their children，they will also feel a sense of grief．Painful moments fill their minds．While I can not adequately explain the feelings，I can still remember how I felt when we began that new chapter in our lives．As time went on，Roy and I are now accustomed to our table for two and we enjoy our lives together．As an added bonus，“dinner for two” is much more affordable than dinner out for an entire family．I have to admit I still miss our children and the old times we had together．But I have to say I enjoy the time I spend with my husband more than ever before．Roy and I have always enjoyed each other's company，but after the children went to college，we found a great amount of strength in each other．Some things have changed over the years．Our love for one another has grown stronger with each passing day．Together，Roy and I are now doing things we never dreamed possible．Our children oftentimes talk about how we are busier and happier than we have ever been before．Could it be because we fell deeper in love as we spent quality time together at our table for two?81.

ANowadays, studying abroad gains popularity in China. Many parents would rather send their children abroad to receive education than let them be educated in China.Every coin has two sides and studying abroad is no exception(例外). There are advantages for people to attend school abroad. In the first place, he can use the foreign language in his daily life so that his ability in the second language may be greatly improved, as it is obvious that there is no better opportunity to improve second language skills than living in the country where it is spoken. While studying in a foreign country, he will mostly meet many others from overseas and it is possible to make friends with people from all over the world. This is not only exciting on the social level, but could lead to important overseas contacts in his career as well. He can learn the latest knowledge in science and make use of the first-rate facilities(设备) available. In this way, there are many chances for him to widen his horizons and broaden his mind.Of course, attending school abroad may bring about a series of problems as well. The most serious problem is language barrier(障碍). Not all of the students who plan to go abroad are good at the language spoken there. As a result, on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand what the teachers say. Besides, for lack of knowledge of the customs of the local people, they may constantly(不断地) run into trouble in dealing with various situations. Furthermore, the tuition and the cost of living are much higher than those in our country, which may add more burdens to their family.Therefore, given an opportunity to attend a school abroad, one must consider both its advantages and its disadvantages carefully before making up his mind.21. What is the passage mainly about?A. Students’ life in the foreign countries.B. The advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad.C. Problems that will be met when we study abroad.D. The reasons why many parents sent their children abroad.22.All the following are the advantages of studying abroad EXCEPT______A. the ability in the second language may be greatly improvedB. you may make friends from all over the worldC. you can learn to live an independent lifeD. you can get to know the latest knowledge in science.23.The writer’s attitude towards studying abroad is ________A. Positive(肯定的)B. Negative（否定的）C. Neutral（中立的）D. Not clearBJohn Blanchard was studying the crowd making their way through the station．He was looking for the girl with a rose whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn’t．When reading a book in a Florida library a year before, John became interested not in the contents of the book, but in the notes penciled in the margin．The handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and beautiful mind．He discovered the former owner's name in the front of the book: Miss Hollis Maynell．He located her address and wrote a letter introducing himself．The next day he was shipped overseas to serve in the army．During the next year, they grew to know each other through the mail and their friendship developed．John requested a photograph, but she refused, saying if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like．When the day finally came for him to return home, their first meeting was suggested — 7:00 p．m．at the Grand Central Station in New York．She wrote, “You’ll recognize me by the red rose I wear on my coat．” So now John was in the station to meet the girl with a rose．As a pretty and slim girl in green came over, John noticed her blue eyes like flowers in spring．He walked directly towards her, entirely forgetting she was not wearing a rose．As John came closer to her, he saw another woman with a red rose stood nearby．Well past 40, this woman had grey hair done under a worn hat．Seeing the girl in green walk quickly away, John felt as if he were split in two．He desired to follow that girl, but longed for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned and supported him．The woman looked gentle and sensible．John went to her, saying, “I’m Captain John Blanchard．You must be Miss Maynell．I am glad to meet you here．May I take you to dinner?”She replied with a smile, “I don’t know what this is about．But the lady in green who just went by, begged me to wear this rose on my coat．She said if you asked me out to dinner, I’d tell you she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street．She said it was some kind of test!”24．John was eager to know the former owner of the book because he______．A．was very interested in the contents of the bookB．was impressed by the notes written by its ownerC．wanted to improve his handwritingD．wanted to discuss the book with her25．What happened to John after getting in touch with Miss Hollis Maynell?A．He served in the army abroad．B．He went overseas for vacation．C．He went on a business trip in New York. D．He visited Miss Maynell．26．What do we know about the woman with a rose?A．She was Miss Maynell’s close friend．B．She was a waitress in the big restaurant．C．She was probably a passerby．D．She was paid to meet John at the Station．27．Which would be the best title of the text?A．An Interesting Book B．A Woman With a RoseC．A Brave Soldier D．A Love TestCIf you had a strange sound in your ear, what would you do? One man in Wales who thought he had a fly in his ear called 999, the emergency services number in Britain. And so did a woman who was worried about her green potatoes. Could she make chips with them? Were they poisonous? She didn’t hesitate about calling the local ambulance service to ask. According to a recent report, more than 31, 000 non-urgent calls were made to the Welsh Ambulance Service in the last year.Inappropriate calls are a headache for health professionals everywhere. In the US, prank calls to 911 happen on a daily basis. Many callers use apps which hide their identity. But those who try to be funny shouldn’t be surprised if the police have the last laugh. One man from Colorado was arrested for making more than 1,200 prank calls, according to a report on the US television station KOAA—TV.People who take these calls are trained to stay calm and keep a straight face, no matter how strange the call sounds. “There’s no way for us to know whether the call is real, accidental or a prank call,” said a public safety worker interviewed by the American TV channel.The Head of Clinical Services at the Welsh Ambulance Service, Richard Lee, has a warning for prank callers. He says: “When people misuse the service, it means our precious time is being taken away from someone who really does need our help.” Indeed, these hotlines are supposed to help the seriously ill or those with a life-threatening injury. You never know, one day, the person who needs assistance could be you or someone in your family.28. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?A. By listing figures.B. By telling a story.C. By giving examples.D. By making a comparison.29. According to the text, prank calls are usually________.A. meant to be helpfulB. dealt with in timeC. thought highly ofD. made to play tricks30. What does the underlined phrase “have the last laugh” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Win at last.B. Never find them.C. Laugh at them.D. Know nothing.31.

Your cat is able to smell, whether you know it or not, whenever you come home or enter a new space. Theycan tell who you are, where you were an hour ago and sometimes even what you had for breakfast! Some people believe that cats can smell illnesses not only in themselves and other cats, but in humans as well.Cats also have an extra sense organ that is unique to cat’s family. The "Jacobsen’s organ", as it is known, can be described as somewhere between smell and taste. It separates tastes particles (微粒) from the air, allowing the cat to "taste" whatever it can smell. Therefore, you may sometimes have seen a cat with its mouth slightly open and perhaps its tongue just a bit out when it is smelling smells. Whenever my cats do this, they seem to have a look of deep concentration on their faces.A cat’s smell is so good that it can recognize each ingredient (成份) in foods. Very few smells are dislikable to cats, so mothballs (樟脑球) have always been used to keep cats off gardens, since cats cannot stand (忍受) the smell of them.Smells are also very important to your cat. They can recognize boundaries (界线,范围), people, other animals, food, and their environment. Your cat will walk around, checking for new things and will smell the slightest change. A cat can tell not only who you are, but also your general health and attitude, all from smells.32.
